Once you’re down at our pawn shop, one of our associates will being inspecting your jewelry for what’s known as a stamp.  A stamp is used by a jeweler to indicate the type of gold and the purity of the gold.  Historically, this goes back almost a thousand years as form of consumer protection.  It’s near impossible to be able to tell the purity of gold through just looking at it making it easy for consumers to be duped.  While these can sometimes be inaccurate, they give us a great starting place to value your gold jewelry.

Based on the stamp, we’ll test the purity by performing an acid test.  It’s a simple procedure that poses no harm to the jewelry whatsoever and allows us to verify the actual purity.  Gold purity can range from 40% all the way up to 90% so it’s incredibly important that we’re able to verify its exact purity.

Lastly, we’ll weigh the gold item as all of our prices are per gram.  At West Valley Pawn and Gold, we update our gold prices daily to reflect the global trading price of gold.  This ensures that our customers are always getting the exact fair price for their gold that day.  When you accept our cash offer, we’ll simply collect a few signatures from you and put cold, hard cash right in your hand.  That’s right folks, selling gold is that simple.  In Avondale, Goodyear, or Phoenix, West Valley Pawn and Gold is ready to put cash in your hand.

What is a fair deal when selling gold?

 

Weight is the most important factor in determining the value of gold. However, there are factors to take into account such as the condition and the purity of the gold. Sounds simple right? Be careful, there are ways that stores cheat on this by classifying 18K gold at 14K (generally most items are stamped -- if it is stamped 18K, then odds are it is very close to 18K). So, if you see someone testing your gold which is stamped 18K and telling you it's 14K, that's an issue. Maybe they will call it 18K, but pay you at 14K because of a "typical" lack of purity. Some stores have ways of pricing that is misleading. Like they quote a high per gram price, but then deduct so many fees that there is nothing left. In addition, they may not have licensed scales. In some cases, they are not properly licensed to buy gold which allows them to cut corners which in turn, costs you money. They can sometimes claim a loss during melt (there is a loss, but it varies depending on what is being melted). You're probably thinking to yourself, how can I trust anyone? Here at North Scottsdale Loan & Gold we are determined to make you feel confident that you get the most cash for your gold. We will explain the process and how we came to the price we give you so that you fully understand the procedure for appraising your gold.
